You can use the change event on the autocomplete widget to achieve this. http://api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#event-change

For example:

function AutoComplete() {
  //Autocomplete added to the textbox.
  $('.userSearch').autocomplete({
      source: function (request, response) {
         // your ajax code
      },
      minLength: 1,
      change: function (event, ui) { SaveData(); }
  });
}
